The alarming disease Of this
country is nervous debility and
prostraticn. It goes under
many nanes but it is essen.
tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu.
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average Of life
in the United States is de.
creas;us every year. sadden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority Of sui
cides, committed without ap-
parentreason, or under so-calied
"depression Of Spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source Of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the nation. They assail the
springs Of it's power and pros
pcrity. They wreck manhood's
strength and wolilan's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they9 The
answer is easy and terribly
p1:' n: Our vicious personal
ha::,;:ts; our careless and lawless
eat;rg and drinking; the in.
te::" mental and physical strain
&, :,.1g from our mad race after
r,o:vy, position and influence;
t,,., fears and struggles Of pov.
e::;t;;.; the use of narcotics and
s;:.aulants; our fashion OF
turning day into night and
at into day; and, briefly,
cur desperate willingness to
r~y any price for an hours
p.tss,1re or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
anu fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
snfer and die is, in plain Eng
l;sh, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
tie organs Of Digestion, Assln-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des.
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starvsd;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
OFT its warnings:-headache
in the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakefulness;
loss ofappetite and disgustwith
food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
icty without any assignablee
reason; eructations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sal
towness Of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure OF
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
6onment of the habits and Gus
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of Sucker Ertract q Roots
(.seigc,'s Syrup to cure I, the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community Of Mt. Leb-
anon, n. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. To do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting the secretion OF bile, ex-
pelling waste matters from the
system, and purifying the olooo.
Upon the nervous system
Shaker Entract(S (Seigel'sS Syrup
acts as a safe and Wholesome
anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves
+l,o nor,oc IN reoain their nat
ural tone and strength through
its wonderful influence upon
the function Of nutrition.
It is safe to say moro nery-
Gus dyspeptics have been re-
stored by it from the depths
Il misery to o fresh enjoyment
OF life and labor than by am
OF all other forms Of treatment
